The ASK SDK package for Node.js bundles TypeScript definition files for use in TypeScript projects and to support tools that can read .d.ts files. Our goal is to keep these TypeScript definition files updated with each release for any public api.
Before you can begin using these TypeScript definitions with your project, you need to make sure your project meets a few of these requirements:
npm install --save-dev @types/node
To use the TypeScript definition files within a Node.js project, simply import ask-sdk as below:
In a TypeScript file:
import * as Alexa from 'ask-sdk';
In a JavaScript file:
const Alexa = require('ask-sdk');

It’s helpful if you include the version of the SDK, Node.js or browser environment and OS you’re using. Please include a stack trace and reduced repro case when appropriate, too.
